Do you find such statements in the bible? Imagine Paul or any of the apostles saying "thanks be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ whom we have chosen of our own freewill" Besides all that Jesus said "you have not chosen Me but I have chosen you ..." so why continue to say that we chose...

ya think Paul was a wolf? ... do sheep have freewill?

God is the same but His dealings with His people are different. The law came by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

The church will reign with Him from heaven The converted Jews will reign with Him on earth.

That's right they shall reign with Him ... so it is not the end of the world. ... not everyone who is saved will reign during the 1, 000 years but they who overcome and keep His works unto the end.

So when Jesus comes it is not the time of the end of the world but the times of restitution of all things. This is the 1, 000 years reign of Christ.

Woah just a moment, your argument was that the end was the end of the world but here you yourself quote Jesus saying that the nations are to continue and that we shall rule over them ...

Not at all, I have been set FREE, before I was in bondage and a slave, I was bound to sin and I was bound to die. All men have a will, but outside of Christ it is not free.

To be clear I do ... the question is predestined and chosen unto what?

Ephesians 2. 4-5. But God who is rich in mercy out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead in trespasses and sins made us ALIVE together with Christ (by grace you have been saved) verse 9. For by grace you have been saved through faith and this is not of your own doing...

All men are drawn to Christ, some to salvation but others to condemnation. The implication of your post is that those who trust Him "of their own freewill" do so according to some wisdom or virtue they have which those who reject Him do not have. But Paul says no good thing dwelleth in us that...

Either I wrote it according to God's will or according to "my own freewill". Whatever we preach is to be weighed by the church.

Who's denying? but before these things the church is raptured to reign with Christ from heaven and the Jews [converted] will reign with Him on earth.

And what causes you to overlook the many other prophecies concerning the time of future blessing for Israel? you are just parroting scriptures which we know are true and which did come to pass. YOU say God only deals with folks as individual and not according to race or nationality, yet here...

Look here YOU are saved, was it by chance? or did God always plan to save you? I think He did. That entails Him predetermining your life from the get go, the bible says before the world was founded. Not only your life but your parents and your parents parents all the way back. If somebody had...

"God wills IN US to do of His good pleasure"

Uh uh ... we are no longer born in God's image, A & Eve were created in God's image, we are born in Adams fallen image.

If you forbid somebody you are not giving them freewill, the sanction of death is what gives strength to the veto, without the sanction the veto would be meaningless. By deceiving mankind into believing that the threat of death was a lie the veto lost it's power and gave mankind the ILLUSION of...

I have never read Calvin, I have very serious problems with Calvin [TULIP] Why do you say you smell Calvin when I quote the apostle Paul?

The bible says we are born again not by the flesh nor by the will of the flesh but by the will of God, so why claim it was our freewill?
